Hey, do you want to listen to a comedy podcast that isn't all about pooping your pants and working out? Yes, sure. Then check out my friend Neil Brennan's podcast, Blocks. It's based on his Netflix special where he discussed things that made him feel alienated from the world and what could do about it. The podcast covers similar ground. Guests come with a list of their blocks and together with Neil, they make light of them. It's surprisingly funny and earnest. Past guests have included Trevor Noah, Jerry Seinfeld, Nikki Glaser, David Letterman, Taylor Tomlinson, Bill Burr, and John Lovett, where I discuss being gay and also not fitting in with gay people. Don't really fit in with anybody. It's a sexual orientation thing. You're not going to believe it. I overshared. Blocks comes out every two weeks, so it doesn't feel like a burden for you or Neil. And isn't that what it's all about? Blocks. I'm going to read verbatim what comes at the end. Note from Neil, not sure how to end this promo. Love it. This is Neil.

Welcome to Love It or Leave It, live at Dynasty Typewriter. Got a great show for you tonight. Jorma Deconi is here. Dylan Adler is here. Together we will find out which couples can kill, what trending slop actually makes us pop, and of course we'll regret it all by the end with second thoughts. But first, let's get into it. What a week. The Trump administration began deploying ICE agents to airports across the U.S. purportedly to address long security lines as the partial government shutdown, fuck, let, no, we're doing it, leave it in. It let, it left TSA unpaid and understaffed. Explained an ICE spokesperson to a journalist holding a small audio recorder, drop the gun. Here are our boys in green in photo after photo, very helpfully standing around. Look at these guys. They can't even stand at the airport correctly. You got to go to a gate and 10 minutes before boarding begins, you got to stand in the boarding area. Because even though that means until your group is called, everyone has to ask who is and isn't in line and then awkwardly go around each other, you will be first to board with your group, which in turn creates pressure for everyone to crowd the boarding era because you risk not having space for your bag because you respected the process. Even though if everyone respected the process and waited in their seats or just not directly in front of the gate, everyone would board in roughly the same order anyway, which is just a small example how life gets worse as you move from a high trust to a low-trust society. Another example being Donald Trump as president and deploying ICE to the fucking airports. Anyway, Trump waxed poetic in a true social post about the deployment to airports, saying, quote, the public is loving ICE. They are great American patriots. They just happen to have much larger and harder muscles than most, which is what they're supposed to have. I know there are direct flights to Charleston. I want the two layovers. I need them, said Lindsey Graham, saliva dripping onto the table. Meanwhile, the TSA's acting administrator said Wednesday that ICE, shuffling around in the little vests, hadn't magically fixed the problem. More than 480 TSA agents have quit since the shutdown began, and the country's airports are experiencing the highest wait times in history. If only Kamala were elected, we could be experiencing the highest wait times in herstory. Oh. And it's not all bad. Every ICE agent drinking a taxpayer-funded Starbucks at Newark Terminal B is one fewer ICE agent harassing people on the street. But it's also one more person in line at the airport Starbucks. And every airport Starbucks does seem like it's one customer away from total collapse. Think of it. It's the one place if you told me that an ICE agent put their gun up in the air and fired to try to calm the chaos, I'd be like, let's hear him out. But all of this is symbolic. The reason TSA is not funded is because Democrats do not want to fund ICE, with the exception of John Fetterman, who is in the middle of his own version of Eat, Pray, Love, but instead of trying new pasta shapes until you realize you are enough, you have a stroke and realize you are conservative. Okay, so we're not funding TSA because we're not funding ICE, but ICE is sitting on $85 billion from Trump's big, beautiful bill. So in order to avoid funding ICE, we've created a situation in which only ICE is funded. I haven't seen ICE ruin this many people's travel plans since the Titanic. Delta Airlines announced this week that it was suspending some airport perks for members of Congress until the shutdown is over, like a designated check-in desk. Not to be outdone, Spirit Airlines said it was going to stop hosing the turds out of the aisle between flights. But the whole reason Democrats drew this line was to create pressure on Trump and Republicans to attach reforms to any funding bill to rein in ICE's worst successes. But when Democrats proposed reforms to require ICE to wear ID and show their faces, to codify rules around the use of force, to reaffirm the need for judicial warrants and prohibit baseless detentions, to protect people at hospitals and at courthouses, among other proposals, a bunch of online warriors and some lefties mock these Democrats as centrist squishes, proposing half measures to reform an agency that cannot be fixed. But whatever our aim is in the long term, right now, the truth is the only hope of any reform at ICE in the next several years is to redial because it will require Republican votes in Congress, not to mention Trump's signature. Saying, LOL, Democrats bad, sidesteps the actual hard question. Funding ICE with no reforms is unacceptable. The complete overhaul we'd want is impossible. Trump is at his lowest ebb and Democrats have leverage. The question is what can we extract right now to make giving up our leverage worth it? And like Melinda Gates said to her divorce attorneys, let's fuck him all the way back to Epstein's Island. This week, Trump demanded Republicans hold out on a deal unless it includes not only ICE funding, but his elections bill that will require married women to show their passports, birth certificates or hole to vote in the midterms. This is the SAVE Act, which doesn't have enough votes to pass on its own, let alone when tied to government funding. So I'm tying homeland security into voter identification with picture and proof of citizenship in order to vote. And I'm requesting that the Republican senators do that immediately. You don't have to take a fast vote. Don't worry about Easter going home. In fact, make this one for Jesus, OK? And then if Jesus does come back, we'll finally have enough funding to deport that barefoot Arab socialist back to the desert he came from. on tuesday senate democrats rejected a framework from republicans to end the shutdown because it didn't go far enough and as of this recording the negotiations are ongoing as more and more tsa agents call in sick or quit altogether and i'll say to them the same thing i said to the crooked media workers union during our bargaining sessions come on please work for free just work for free. Didn't work. On Thursday, the Senate held a test vote on what Republicans called their best and final offer. In the end, to no one's surprise, only John Fetterman crossed the aisle. Republicans can count on his vote until that next stroke turns him Maoist and he disappears into the Poconos for 20 years. I'm scared, but buckle up for when he comes back. You will not believe what happens when Fetterman Maoist comes out of the wilderness in 20 years. They are ready. All of this is why ICE at the airports is a fitting metaphor for the Trump era, a symbolic deployment during a symbolic shutdown as the president's chaos and mismanagement draws all of our attention and energy as the country crumbles around us. The Pentagon has a trillion dollar budget, but Trump says they need another 200 billion dollars for the war in Iran we already supposedly won. You know, I don't like to say this. We've won this. This war has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news. Meanwhile, on the tarmac at LaGuardia on Sunday night, as people were in terminals waiting in security lines for hours to be screened by unpaid TSA agents, two pilots died in a collision, one of a series of mishaps under an FAA that has been underfunded, overworked, and saddled with obsolete technology. And we can't just sit back and let people die because we underfunded critical life-saving infrastructure while expecting overwhelmed professionals to make up for our neglect. It's an airport, not a hospital. Trump's own Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, who I would make fun of for being a reality star, except he happens to be one of the most responsible members of Trump's cabinet, is going around to Congress hat in hand, begging for money to fix the air traffic control system for a tiny fraction of what Trump wants to spend turning ayatollahs from a liquid into a gas. Memory lane. Memory lane. And you know what that sound means. It's time for a trip down memory lane. Back in the 2010s, conservatives spent years yelling on TV and holding hearings and conducting investigations about a company called Solyndra. This was a supposedly epic boondoggle because the Obama administration backed loans of $535 million, dollars, half a billion dollars, as part of a guarantee to this solar company, Solyndra, and that company went under, and the government lost that $535 million. Now, that loan was only 3% of that overall loan program. Democrats assumed that some fraction of the companies that received loans would fail. That's why the government had to be a backstop in the first place. These were some risky bets. It's like how we make this show. A certain amount of failure is just baked into the process. But even with the losses from Solyndra, that loan program under the Obama administration funded clean energy and created jobs while also returning every dime of taxpayer money plus interest. Taxpayers made a profit on that loan program. Republicans turned a real world success into a symbolic scandal for television. And yet this week, the Trump administration announced it is writing a check for a billion dollars to a French energy company as a payoff for killing two offshore wind farms. In exchange, the company, I'm sorry, the company Total Energy has promised to subsidize oil and gas production in Texas while promising not to pursue offshore wind energy in America ever again. In other words, the Trump administration is paying the French a billion dollars to not work, their favorite thing. And Republicans who claim to be outraged by waste and by the government choosing winners and losers won't say a peep. Because for these people, the real world impact does not matter. The long-term cost to the country doesn't matter. What matters is the symbolism. What matters is owning the libs and what plays on television. That's what we're seeing with Iran too. On Wednesday, NBC News reported that Trump receives a daily video montage from military officials highlighting the biggest strikes in Iran from the past 48 hours, a briefing that one official described as a series of clips of stuff blowing up. Move over, Bay of Pigs. This is the Michael Bay of Pigs. Responded J.D. Vance, look, obviously we're concerned about the screen time, but you know, one day you're going to have a president of your own and you're going to see just how hard it is to get a moment of peace. And this isn't the only briefing Trump gets about the war, but it's raising concerns even among his allies that he might not be receiving the full picture of how things are going, especially when you consider the company he keeps. On Monday, Trump had this to say about the decision to start a war with Iran and the influence of his defense secretary. Pete, I think you were the first one to speak up and you said, let's do it. Please, Mr. President, save it for The Hague. It's fun to think about, to have that fantasy, as if we live in that world. On Wednesday evening, Trump spoke at an annual Republican gala and said this about Iran. They are negotiating, by the way, and they want to make a deal so badly, but they're afraid to say it because they figure they'll be killed by their own people. They're also afraid they'll be killed by us. Not sure where that paranoia is coming from when you have the reassurances of the defense secretary. And that's why we see ourselves as part of this negotiation as well. We negotiate with bombs. Oh, oh, but that's not what that word means. You don't get a better deal on a CRV by throwing a brick through a window of the dealership. Even if you're trying to take out their lead salesman, you're just radicalizing the junior associates, especially because you did this during happy Honda days. Take out the lead negotiator. There's somebody on the lower ebb that we can work with. Not anymore. They're fucking furious. You took out the window and then the negotiator. In the middle of this precious time called Happy Honda Days. There was a story in Zateo today that Hegseth's nickname around the Pentagon is The McNamara. This really bothered me because it's not a play on Robert McNamara at all. And so we have some alternatives. Thick Cheney. Blondeliza Rice, Donald Dumsfeld, and Ugg Fythe. There's a question as to whether people remembered Ugg Fythe. Said Trump at Thursday's cabinet meeting. And just so we set the record straight, because I've been watching the Wall Street Journal's fake news and all these stories that get printed like, oh, I want to make a deal. They are begging to make a deal, not me. They're begging to make a deal. Sure, buddy. Trump teased that Iran had even given him a gift and confirmed at the cabinet meeting that the gift was allowing eight oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. Also, the oil tankers were made of wood and shaped like horses. It's a wonderful, thoughtful gift. So Trump says we're winning the war and Iran is begging for a deal. but Iran rejected a ceasefire, and Trump is sending thousands of paratroopers to the region, while Iran is reportedly building up its defenses around a place called Karg Island, which handles 90% of the country's crude exports in preparation for a possible U.S. ground operation. Karg Island doesn't sound like a place we should be sending American troops. It sounds like where we should have to travel to get a gold star in Mario Party, or to rescue your wife from King Kong. Hmm. But Trump and the Republicans have a problem. Markets don't care about how the war looks on television. Markets care about the price of oil. And voters don't care when the Secretary of Defense says we're bombing the woke out of Wokistan when gas is pushing $5 a gallon. That's why Trump's approval, according to a new Reuters poll, hit a new low of 36%. Trump's own district in Palm Beach just elected a Democrat. Two years ago, a Republican won that seat by 20 points. Meanwhile, the president is touring Graceland while the country is at war. Elvis had two eighth degree black belts in karate. One was in Kenpo, and that's what this match was for. Was he really good, or was it just... Actually, he was really good. He started practicing... Could I have taken him in a fight? I don't know. You might. I think he would have been respectful enough to let you win. Yes, he probably would. Would Elvis have let Trump win? A lot of people forget this. But Elvis had a lesbian sister who he loved and whose partner he embraced. And a lot of people forget this because I made it up. Elvis never said that much about politics after he got that little badge from Nixon the colonel wanted to protect Elvis's all-american image and you can get pretty far in America on how things seem but right now the American people are furious about how things actually are and Trump can hit the stage and swing his hips and blow his kisses and serenade the five but at the end of the day he's just a fat slob past his prime shooting at the tv and slowly dying on the fucking toilet which by the way is my favorite Elvis album that's love on the dying on the fucking toilet mama mama that's love dying on the toilet mama was it did I do better in rehearsal mama mama mama that's it mama mama show's over mama it's this for an hour mama mama Hmm It's similar you got to do the free you go the back your throat. It's the French. Oh, then you go lower We got a great show for you tonight your Mr Cody is here mama Mama Mama And we be right back Hey, don't go anywhere.

Before we get to the rest of the show, how many people here are from Los Angeles? Have you been following what happened today with the K-Line? Do anyone know what I'm talking about with the K-Line? It's a good story, which is LA is going to build some rail. And boy, like an ant crawling across a rubber band, it's going to keep getting longer in front of us, but also behind us somehow. And the question was, are we going to build a train that basically connects the sort of north of LAX all the way up to the Hollywood Bowl? And this is something LA voted for in a ballot measure, 70%, had to get to 67%. We voted for it 70% to do a bunch of transit extensions. This was in 2016. There's also a bunch of money set aside if we can accelerate this project. There's a 2.2 some odd billion dollars set aside to do it. But there's this problem. In order to build a train, you have to dig a tunnel because it's Los Angeles. And the tunnel ends up going about 100 feet underneath some homes in Lafayette Square. So the community in Lafayette Square said, we don't want a giant train under our 100 feet under our house because it's going to shake the cats. And so it's going to make the cats scared and will be scared and will be shaken all the time, like they imagined from the movies. So they did a study, two studies. Millions of dollars were spent delaying the project on studies. And the studies came back and they said, actually, these train holes will be so far underground, I don't know what the technically are called, sort of these train tunnels, these tunnels, technical term tunnels, will be so far underground that it'll be actually imperceptible without fine instruments. And you're not a fine instrument, you're a homeowner in mid-city, so you're fine. The cats won't know, you won't know. let's build this thing. And they said, no, we're still worried about the tunnels. Can you move the route? And they're like, well, if we move the route, the train's going to have to turn right and then turn left. And trains hate doing that. So it's going to slow the train down. They said, please move the tunnel for no reason. And everybody said, fine, fine. Homeowners in Lafayette Square, we're going to move the tunnel. So now if you look at the map of what happens with the K-Line, it goes like this, then it comes around and it stays under San Vincente so it doesn't go out under as many homes. And they said, thank you so much. This train may never be built. And so they tried to stop it, but they got some pretty big hitters involved, including Mayor Karen Bass, who seemed to be receptive to some of their arguments. And so there was a question going into what was a pivotal vote today that nobody really knew about that basically meant that if the measure passed, but there was another motion to delay it, the K-line could never be started to be even considered being constructed until 2041. 2041 if it was delayed any further it still may not be built until 2041 but there's a chance now we can unlock some of these billions of dollars and get the thing built faster but but a lot of people spoke up it seemed to really piss off mayor karen bass who put out a statement saying anyone who suggests i'm going to stand in the way of this train is spreading misinformation but i will make sure this community is heard and it's like well wait what if they're hurt we can hear them but can we then ignore them that was the question but the good news is today there was a vote. And a lot of people spoke up. A lot of people came to the meeting. There's a lot of behind the scenes negotiations. And at the end of the day, the Metro board voted to expand the K line without any delay. So it was a real victory for local politics and people standing up for transit. And yeah, it's still going to take too long, but that's a good example of how LA is finally facing some of the ways it has been governed stupidly for a very, very long time. Now that doesn't mean we're not doing stupid things elsewhere, like how they're trying to implement SB 79. But this was a good example of people speaking up, putting on pressure, and it got the local government to move faster to build the K-Line, which they're calling the Pink Line to the Pink Pony Club because it goes through WeHo. That's all I wanted to say about that. Love It or Leave It is coming back to our nation's capital. Join us on April 23rd at the Lincoln Theater to pregame the White House Correspondents Dinner Weekend and then not go to it. We have some awesome guests, which I'm announcing right now for the first time. CNN's Jake Tapper, Senator Chris Murphy, and MS Now, Simone Sanders Townsend, and Eugene Daniels. That's a great lineup. Could be more. There could be more great guests coming down the pike. You don't know yet. There's some tickets left. Not that many. Go to crooked.com slash events to get them before they sell out. All right. Please welcome to the stage the director of a hilarious new horror movie. It's, you know, you'll laugh. You'll, you know, be scared. You can do two things. Called Over Your Dead Body. It's Yorma Dicone. Hi. Hi. Thanks for being here. Come on in. Love you, too. If you said I love you, then I love you, too. I don't know if that's what you said. Oh, Righteous Kill. That's my podcast. Oh, okay, great. Quaid Army. It's such an unbelievably difficult thing to explain. What's Quaid Army? Why we decided to call our fans Quades. Is it after Randy or Dennis? Neither. Wow. Neither. Is it from Total Recall? Yes. It is? Oh, then I'm fluent. Yeah, great. Yes. Oh, say no more. Yeah, say no more. Yes, yes, it is because of a sketch that we did on SNL, which was Andy playing a quado in someone's, have you seen it? I've seen the sketch and I'm aware of quado. Okay, great, great, yeah, yeah. And then while we were writing the sketch, I thought it was really funny that quado should call anyone who's not a quado a quade. and then when we wrote the sketch I was like we should start calling each other Quades and I was really obsessed with it and then I mentioned it on the pod and then it somehow became that our listeners are Quades? Anyway that's the story Quade Hive rise up Quade Army I love that I really want to sit like you when I saw the show I was like oh fuck we get to sit like this you can sit wherever you want these chairs are like a little monkey yeah I like to be up I don't sit normally. Okay, good. Hey, you're part of Lonely Island. Yeah, technically. I'm part of a group. Paz de America. Yeah, I know. I know. I was telling you, it's just crazy to see your face. I was telling Peter Miller, who is my brother-in-law, who writes for this show, but I was telling him that it was nice to see how handsome you were. Wow. I said that. You know, he told me that you said that. and I appreciate that. We didn't talk about this backstage. I really am, I consider myself the funny one. So, so, I'm curious what you learned about being part of a group and if you have any tips for getting the other members of the group to hang out with you outside of work. It's tough. It's tough. This, you know, I got kids and we all have kids so it's hard to, even for our pod, it's hard to even find the time to actually like see each other. We were trying to calculate when the last time we all saw each other together with seth meyer the the podcast is with seth meyers as well and we can it's before the pandemic we all hung out together which is really sad yeah so i don't have any advice for that at all uh but uh being a part of the group like what uh what have you learned like navigating being part of a creative well you're so but but it's weirder right because it's three people right so like ours is more like democratically it's like majority rule so oftentimes if we have an idea and only two of the three of us understand the idea that person will usually leave until the idea is a little bit more fully formed and then the per like the third guy will come in and poke holes and be like this is why i don't understand this like logic and then you make it better by like the consensus of like like once it gets to the point where all three members understand it then it's usually the best product and then i would say like there's a lot of fucking piggybacking. So you almost don't know where the, you know how writer's rooms are. It's like a joke starts and then it becomes another joke and then it becomes like to the point where you almost don't know where it began and it's a much weirder joke, which I always appreciate. Yeah, I feel like that people will ask about certain jokes from the correspondence era and I have no idea where jokes started and ended. How could you possibly keep track of that? I mean, I know the good ones are mine, but I don't really remember. Yeah, totally. So your new movie, Over Your Dead Body. Yes. It's a remake of a 2021 Norwegian black comedy called The Trip. Yes, which is such a weird thing. To even have wanted to make a remake was a very odd thing for me. How did you think about it? Well, so it got proposed to me from a producer named Guy Dinella who worked with Tommy Wirkola. I'm going to go ahead and say that that's how you say it in Norwegian. Tommy made the movie Violent Night, which is the Santa Claus diehard movie, basically. And he's made a whole bunch of other movies. And there was like a Venn diagram there of like, he's doing action comedy and I'm doing comedy action. And there was some crossover there. And Tommy had been quoting some of our movies on like Hot Rod, he loved and he loved Popstar and MacGruber and things like that. So he was just quoting us like on set. And Guy was like, I haven't met that guy. I'll hit him up. So he hit me up. And then a week later, he was like, this is weird. But Tommy made this movie called The Trip. It's originally called In Bad Days was the original Norwegian title. But it's on Netflix. So I watched it. And it's fucking crazy to make any remake of it, to even want to do that. But it's also weird for how recent it is. It was only a couple of years ago that it came out. The original is great in a very European way. it's like super fucking dark. Like it is like, it's about two people who go to a cabin and want to kill each other basically. And then crazy shit ensues and it gets like weirder and weirder. And like, it's a, it's, it's a really fun, I don't want to spoil anything, but like it goes all these different places. Um, and I love, but I loved the original. I thought it was great. And then I love the, uh, the script that Nick and Brian wrote. They're in a group called Britannic or I think I'm pronouncing it. And, uh, but like it was a really funny script and it felt much more, like me in that it like it just tonally i felt like i could do something and i and then casting wise like with jason siegel and samara it was it was just so fun to make and i it was a real challenge for me because it's like it there's drama in it there's actual real acting scenes there's full-on action like like not funny action necessarily it's pretty fucking gory but it was all these different tones and then weaving throughout it is like we were pushing the comedy as much as we could but within it being a real situation so it was for me it was just like the challenge of doing it that was a really fucking long answer it was good i'm interested i'm interested it was interesting i'm fully in it could have been longer thank you so i'm glad you brought up the difference between the sort of the comedy aspect and the horror aspect because what we were talking about sort of some of the like iconic sketches and songs and and and what I wanted to talk to you about was actually editing because how much of, I think what made them really special among other reasons was in part, they were just like the comedy editing was like really so excellent. And that comedy editing and editing generally just gets short shrift as how much is made through editing. And I'm wondering how you think about the difference between like editing something for comedy and then editing something for suspense. Um, well, just like, uh, there was one moment um this is a tangent but like but there was one moment uh we got a bad review of the movie hot rod and and one of the like the criticisms was that it was poorly edited and i was like the amount of fucking time that we spend like literally sitting there being like one frame two frames like because it is down to the frame to me with comedy in particular and so you know i've spent fucking thousands of hours every single one of the digital shorts that you saw like that we made and we made over a hundred is like this was before they had editors even working at the show so me and akiva like edited everything so i was there like in at snl when no one's even in the building when like when we're editing these things so we we put so much time and energy and as you said like it's like it's it really is it's timing to editing is timing and comedy is timing So those scenes, what was really fun for me was that the scenes that are purely comedy or have like a comedy moment in it, those are the scenes that I sit in there and the term is frame fucking. And I sit there and get it and get it. And sometimes that's music. Sometimes that's like the edit. Sometimes it's both. Oftentimes it's both. And then the action, same thing. It's removing frames. sometimes it's even like um uh you know like there's a punch and you are taking out the frames in between here and here and then it just seems super aggressive so you spend the time on all these things the action the comedy and then um and then some of those things are like like uh either the suspense as you're saying or or um or the moments where suspense becomes like a punch or like a piece of action and i would sit there and and really fucking focus on those scenes the way i with any comedy scene. But what was really fun for me was the scenes that don't involve that and are just purely like Jason and Samara really acting and being with each other and leaving the camera on them because it's so fun to see a performer, the little shifts in the eye or like, or when they have, because there's a lot going on in this movie and there's a lot going on if you see it twice because like you sort of see things in a different vantage point. And so it was just, it was really fun for me to see how easy those scenes were to edit and not fucking with them because i'm so used to like overly like but like but the those scenes that like the ones that have impact like the gore scenes they edit more like jokes because you're always wanting to be ahead of the audience i'm like that was a big thing for us as a and what i was always saying with lonely island stuff is that the stupider the joke the faster you tell it because you just want to be ahead of your audience and so a lot of the violence and stuff that happens in this is like it's it's punchy in that way of like and sometimes it takes a full fucking day to be like now it's good like you know i really sit there anyway another long answer i apologize um hey did you see the new justin timberlake dui footage i haven't seen it yet on the way here my uber driver was talking a lot about it it's it's um uh he's very likable even while getting arrested which is i think what that's it you know he has it um he definitely does i've been saying like like like the story about justin to me is that i've never met anyone more confident in my life like absolutely like and when we made dick in a box he was like that's a fucking hit i was like i hit like wait what ass. It's like, the beat sucks. This is two perverts. That's a hit. That's so cool. Do you want to see a clip of him getting arrested? Let's watch it. I don't know. What are you visiting? Yeah, I'm on tour. What are you doing? I'm on the world tour. I'm Justin Timberlake. What's your name? Justin Timberlake. You are Justin Timberlake? Yeah. White? I'm just kidding. He says, you called me white? I'm just kidding. And then the artist is like, well, what kind of tour? And he goes, it's hard to explain. I'm Justin Timberlake. Which I found charming. Well it also weird when your name is a brag Yeah Like his actual name is him bragging Strange So funny Hasn happened to me yet You played Pee Wee Herman in the Weird Al movie. I did. Yeah. How far did you go to get into character? I begged. I begged. Not far. No, I dressed up as Pee Wee Herman twice for Halloween. Like when I was like 14. and then I was lucky enough to become friends with Paul later in life and he was just the sweetest man alive I don't know if you've seen that documentary but it's amazing he was such a great person I didn't realize my wife made this movie called Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood which was about Mr. Rogers and I didn't realize he was like the weird Mr. Rogers so sweet, so much connection in the audience and I was so fucking nervous because they were very secretive about that movie and you couldn't say anything about you being in it or anything. And I was so worried that Paul was going to fucking hate it. But he was cool. Can I tell you my favorite moment of my life? In Hollywood. I'm out of time. Tell it. Tell it, please. I had a moment. This is my brag. This is my Justin Timberlake. but I was at Paul Rubin's house with Paul Rust they were writing the Pee Wee's Big Holiday movie and at the time I was going to maybe direct it and instead we had to do this movie Popstar fucking bummer but I was smoking weed with Paul Rubin's at his kitchen table and then I got a text from Weird Al Yankovic saying congrats on the Grammy nomination. And I was like, oh my God. I was like, I just needed Tony Hawk to like kick in the door and be like, I'm your best friend. And I would have been like, oh shit, my 12 year old self just like exploded. But it's never enough, is it? Never enough. The pit is so large. It's like now I'm here, but what's past here? You know, what's higher than this? There must be something because this is already faded. Now that moment is gone. Now I'm just here. the thrill of it is done and I'll just go home. So I guess start all over again, right? You guys are laughing, but this is just true. Speaking of the yawning chasm between meaning and death, your new movie, Over Your Dead Body, is about a couple played by Samara Weaving and Jason Segel who go on vacation only to discover that this may be a murderous trip of some kind. Yes. Sort of romantic, if you ask me. In honor of your new film, we bring you a segment we're calling Over Who's Dead Body. Oh. Oh, Lord, that's dark. We're going to have you blind rank the following couples based on how likely they are to murder each other on vacation. Wait, how do we blind? Forget the blind ranking part. We're going to just look at these couples. I think that's better. Would this couple murder each other on vacation? and if so, who would win? First up, Vince and Linda McMahon. Vince McMahon co-founded the WWE. Linda McMahon, it was a longtime WWE exec, is the current U.S. Secretary of Education. They've been married since 1966, but separated in 2024. On Tuesday, Linda tweeted a wild post that said, in 2005, everything changed. The PlayStation Portable was released and it did more than make gaming portable. It made entertainment personal, mobile, and always within reach. It was the beginning of life on the go. That's what the Secretary of Education posted this week. It's an insane beat of SpawnCon. Also, simply false. The PlayStation Portable changed nothing. Didn't evolve anything. We'd had Game Boys forever. Crazy. Crazy. Now, last summer, Vince was cited for reckless driving after crashing his Bentley into another car on a highway in Connecticut. When asked what he was doing, Vince said this. Why were you driving over 100 miles an hour? I got to end all this birthday. He had to get to his granddaughter's birthday Just being a pop-pop That's sweet What a good guy A, do you think they would try to kill each other on vacation And B, who do you think would emerge triumphant Well, I'm basing this off this photo Which does look like he's almost wearing a neck brace in this photo I think that is a neck brace But it looks cool Yeah, it does look really cool Looks like he broke his neck in this photo I have a friend who works for the New York Times named fred and he has a a phrase this is just a slight tangent but like but his phrase is like he loves uh saying top turnbuckle you know in any like wwe fight like they build to that right it's like and then when you get up on the fucking top turnbuckle like it's the like last like you know yeah yeah and he likes to say like if somebody comes in hot they're coming top turnbuckle I feel like Vince in this picture is top turnbuckle so I feel like he would have an advantage if she was going to kill him I would certainly hope that she would choke him out with those pearls good answer good answer I think that's right next up we have Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry okay do you think they would try to murder each other on vacation and if so who'd win oh i think that any canadian is sadly too polite to murder anyone i mean a canadian versus american no way she's definitely killing that dude yeah uh she's got that also like kind of pop star energy where it's like like she's done a kind of pilates that hasn't actually been shown to the public you know what i mean like it's a private government pentagon there's like a darpa level of pilates that's only available to seven women. It's like Katy Perry, like maybe Rihanna has access to it. Like very few. It's only them. And like they're like, the research is conclusive. Like this is the final form. And they did it in like a hot room too. So like, so on vacation, if they were on a beach, she could still do it. Do you remember on a top in Goldeneye? How she could kill people by squeezing them to death with her super thighs? That was such a good game. And PlayStation changed the game. Changed everything. They changed everything. Changed everything. Yeah, Katy Perry. Great, I agree. That's correct. Let's do one more. Paul Thomas Anderson and Maya Rudolph. Oh, no. God, I would know. Well, you could just say they won't do it. These are like friends of mine. I don't want to like talk about it. Well, you know, it's not real. It's not real. But I have to answer. Yeah, that's the rules of the podcast. God. yeah you were saying backstage he's overrated as a director and it's like we get it I don't know if I can answer this one you said magnoplia they're such a wonderful couple that's a really boring answer they're so fun who would kill and who would be killed Paul would kill look at these she's a little scamp in that photo too. They're both scamps. Look at them. Two scamps. Oh, one final one. Okay. This is me and my fiance. Okay, so you haven't met Ari, but you've met me and who do you think would win? How long have you guys been together? A couple years. Okay. I think that I'm dead. And you love him? To so much. I would be so shocked to be murdered on vacation. My... And honestly, I think at that point, I'd be like, I didn't understand the world. Let it happen. I was wrong that's what I would say I honestly I swear to God if Ari tried to kill me on vacation I'd just be like that okay I was wrong about I just there's no reason I got it if I got it this wrong all the way to 43 like that I'm out that's okay I deserve this get it also he he looks sweet so I would imagine that's the whole thing it'd be a shock yeah would Ari poison you? like what do you think? like if he was really going to do it I think they're I don't know. He wouldn't stab you or anything. I think actually, I think that I could honestly, I think that like, on a busy week, if you just jumped out of a corner and scared me, I'd have a heart attack. Just take me out when I'm stressed. After a tough drive home, like really trafficking, I'm late for something, just go boo, I'm out. Yeah. And then, you know, victimless crime basically. Or no. That's not what I mean. What do I mean? They'll get away with it. By the way, by the way, I'll tell you something. If Ari murders me, I hope they get away with it. I'm in. Again, like I had a pretty, pretty cute. You guys are pretty cute couple too. Right? Yeah, we're cute. That's some cool tats too. Yeah, they have tattoos. They're, they're, they're, they're cooler than me. I'm like tattoos. What about the cemetery? That's what I think. Yeah. That's what I think about it. But I'll tell you, until you get to the cemetery, boy, you better go see over your dead body. April 24th. We'll be right back. Seamless tie-in. With Dylan Adler. Pleased to go see it.

It's hilarious. Dylan Adler. Dylan, get out. Hi. Hi. We just met backstage. We did. Yes. Moving fast and breaking things. That's right. You're on tour with Atsuko. Yes. I opened for her. I've been opening for her for about five years now and I was just with her in Boise, Idaho. Beautiful. I know, I'm lucky. And you were in Europe. Yes, I've never been outside of the country until last year where I got to open for her in Europe. It was fucking incredible. And the women, they thought you were someone they could hit on. Yes, okay, so the standards of masculinity in Europe are different. so in some countries i pass which is crazy like i was a what country honey republic of fagistan like what are you talking about yeah yeah france exactly the republic of france i there i'm i've never had it happen before but it was like a flight attendant on Air France. I don't know. And she was like, oh, do you want a complimentary meal? And then I was like, well, yes, I would. Thank you so much. I would like a compliment. Some people are gay for pay. I'm straight for cheese tray. It's such a weird way to hit on someone. I know. I know. I don't mind. Yeah. Yeah. Did you notice anything about the European sense of humor? Did it, did it, did it, how did you do, because when we did some shows in the UK and in Oslo and Stockholm, and we were shocked by how much people were following American politics, but I didn't have to do stand-up. Yeah, what actually did shock me was how cued in a lot of European countries are with American culture, American politics, but there were certain countries that were truly so quiet and stoic. Like Belgium was me and Otziko's probably worst show. I literally did a backflip to abject silence. And they were like, oh, that's dangerous. And then I had to go back to the mic because it's like a big distance from the mic. and um that was mortifying um and uh you know we were uh we were in helsinki or just like overall in different european countries like when when you go on stage in america they'll be like they're cheering um when music's going on but in europe they're like kind of clapping in unison in like a sort of communist kind of we are equal all you know it was i don't know it was interesting yeah you shot the movie in Finland yes and I had a very similar experience my first AD was named Antti and my impression of him was I am Antti I am doing a joke now I am being serious now I am doing a joke it was like yeah very stoic which like for me like I've never felt more American in my life I'm like so loud and like smiling I love us I know we're great love it or leave it Be more like us. I think they should just try to be more like us. Someone in Iceland said, Americans don't have thoughts because they say every thought they think. It's like, wow, that's true. It's such a bummer how true that is. I remember we were in somewhere in Stockholm and someone said, American, Donald Trump, fake news. Trying to relate to us. Oh, yeah, America. Donald Trump, fake news. By the way, one of my first weekends there was in Helsinki. And I went to the saunas everywhere. There's three million saunas. And I was in the sauna with two guys, these two giant dudes who were like ROTC or something. They were there for like an ROTC-ish weekend. And they were so Trumpy. And I had this, like all of us are naked. And I was between these two giant dudes and I just went off. I was just like this motherfucker it was all about manhood and I was like he's not a fucking real man he doesn't support his wife he's like a real man but I was going crazy to the point where they were like okay well we're gonna leave had now had politics come up yes they were like they were Trumpy they liked Donald Trump and they were trying to get me to agree with them and it went south. It was like a half an hour of me naked being like, I did another fucking thing. And you were saying you slept with those guys. Yes. I was like, this sounds like a porn I've seen actually. The beginning of it at least, you know. I'm turnt. Yeah. Speaking of turnt, we're all pretty turnt off by what's happening with AI. And okay, so in December, Disney signed a $1 billion deal with OpenAI's video app Sora, granting them permission to use Disney IP and characters in their generative AI videos. But on Monday, OpenAI abruptly shuttered Sora, dissolving their deal with Disney. According to Reuters, Disney was shocked at the news, but they shouldn't have been. It's a horrible idea. Just an app full of baby Grogu... Grogu's? Grogu's? I don't fucking watch any more Star Wars. They ruined it. Grogu's? Grogu. Grogu's. Plural. Sorry. Sorry. I've literally never seen a type before. Grogus. What's a baby Grogus? Baby Grogoos. Baby Grogoos, of course, flying into the Twin Towers. I hadn't reached a mark where the baby Grogoos flew into the Twin Towers. Another Millennium Falcon has hit the Pentagon. But not all technology is bad, is it? This debate rages. In our next segment, hey, do you want this? Here's how it works. We're going to rule on the latest innovations being crammed down in our throats after each one's ruled aside. Do we want this? It's doing great. Yeah Ready First up Melania humanoid robot Thank you First Lady Melania Trump for inviting me to the White House It is an honor to be at Fostering the Future Together's Global Coalition inaugural meeting. Look at her face. Yeah, this is the part of Westworld where they're like, wait, are you? Am I? Yeah. How long have we been here? So that's an AI-driven general-purpose robot that the First Lady endorsed as an important piece of educational technology for children that she called Plato. They were naming the robot Plato, I believe after the philosopher. Sure. Yes, please. That was hilarious. Yeah. I like it. You want it? You know, I think this should be like serving smoothies at Erwan, maybe. but I don't think educating the kids what is it supposed to do like to educate them I think it's like a teacher I think it's just a literal like you can ask it questions and it'll answer the questions well I hope it has a gun you know what I mean I like if it's armed well this is where it's like it's so funny that we decided that we want them to be people shaped you know that we decided like why not this can't be like maybe the best shape for a teacher isn't a person. Maybe the best shape for a teacher is something more, I don't know, pyramid-like. I don't know. You don't know. Try out a bunch of shapes. See which kids come out smarter. That's a great point. As long as it has a gun. Yeah, it's gotta have a gun. Well, this is where at a certain point, maybe it needs a gun or maybe it just throws its head at something. You know what I mean? We need, humans need guns because we're limited in certain ways, but that robot could you know, I don't know, throw us S like Superman does that time. Remember when Superman throws the S in Superman 2? And it's like, wait, he can throw the S? You know, and it's not an S. You know what I'm talking about? When he throws the S, you're like, he can throw cellophane S's? When was that power? You know, do you remember that? No, I'm sorry. You know what? But I'm so glad you do. I really do. I really do. From Superman 2, he throws the S. Amazing. believe uh at uh general zod does it cut his head off no no it's actually no it's actually at the big silent ogre one and it kind of wraps him up and he's like and then he falls down a hole i i would love if it cut his head off and everyone was like a little disturbed of like that was a little bit much superman see there's certain there's certain physical fight moves that are villain moves for no reason so odd job can throw a hat and cut somebody's head off because it's somehow seen as villainous but but but but good guys are allowed to shoot people including people that are just in the way of the plot who are not responsible for what's happening to the hero like there'll be heroes in a movie that are wrongly imprisoned killing the guards at the prison while they escape and it's like that guard's just at work he doesn't know anything about why you were convicted yeah there was there's a there's a moment in uh john when i was watching the first john wick where he murders so many people i mean it's literally like two in the chest one in the head like 5 000 times um and i said then there's a moment like at the very end like or you know like lowest moment he goes back to his house and his house has been burned to a crisp and he like finds the locket from his wife or whatever and it's this like reconnection where like remember that's what he's doing he's so sad and i was like oh this would be so fucking rad if they flashed to everyone's widow who like all the people he had killed like looking at their thing being like, oh man, Eric, he fucking died. Wow. He's left so many things. Mind-blowing, right? Every henchman has a story. That's what you were saying backstage, Dylan. Every henchman has a story. Every founding father's story gets to get told. Every other henchman's story doesn't get told. That's what he was saying. Yeah, that's Hamilton. And that's Hamilton. Speaking of founding fathers, Andy Cohen, this summer Peacock launched their AI powered Andy Cohen avatar who will recap recent episodes and tease upcoming drama as he guides you through the digital Bravoverse Dylan do you want this? Yeah so you know he's the AI Andy Cohen that guides you through the Bravoverse yeah that's right that's what I what don't you get? honestly the only thing I can think in my head is like, oh my God, he's a top. Did you know he's a top? He's a top. Is the AI on a top? Probably. Probably too. He's sort of a nothing. You're surprised he's a top? No, I'm not. I'm actually not surprised he's a top because he runs his own network. But also, bottoms actually run the world. So I'm maybe actually a little surprised. Power bottoms? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But the AI have nothing. They're nothing. AI is nothing. They're neither top nor bottom. They just act as if if we want them to be a top, they will be a top because that's how they act in the way that we expect them to act. As close as possible to fulfilling our expectations, you know, in a sense. So I suppose that would probably mean that AI, Andy, is performatively a top but is only digital. Yes. Right? And can't be fucked because it doesn't exist. It's just a digital thing when you think about it. Yeah. You'd have to figure out a different phone to fuck it. Or, well, what's interesting is you could imagine putting AI Andy into the Play-Doh thing. And that could happen instantly. That could happen mid-meeting. That could happen mid-class, you know? They accidentally, all of a sudden, there's like a philosopher talking to Lisa Rinna. And then they're like, wait a second, if Play-Doh's here, where the fuck is Andy Cohen? And it's like, shut up, you kids. I don't know what he would say. Probably nothing that bad. I thought you meant like, then you can fuck it, too. I didn't even think of that you think people are going to want to have sex with robots? I never thought of that it's definitely going to be a thing you think so? no for sure what do you mean have sex with dolls? what are you talking about? no one's going to have sex with robots it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard mark my words listen, listen, listen I don't like making predictions no one is going to have sex with robots you just remember when I said it No one is going to have sex with robots. It's not going to be part of the future. That's crazy. It's going to happen tomorrow. That's a crazy thing to say. You guys are being crazy. Sex with robots. No. Andy Cohen's involved in our movie, too. Bring it back to Over Your Dead Body, April 24th. How so? I don't want to ruin it. Okay. He hosted the reunion. so next up and we do want ai andy we didn't really resolve that i think we oh um maybe not for me just yeah okay the next up the throne one toilet uh it basically uh has an app that records all the poops you take lets you know about its consistency frequency hydration level if thrown one keeps it organized for you it's only 399 dollars and before you ask yes there is a camera that attaches to your toilet and films the bowl sending the footage thrown via it says it says the footage to the throne via bank grade security uh because you're making such an important deposit um no no but i i do have friends who like would my friend josh lived with us for a number of months when he first moved to New York and would constantly leave the door open to the toilet and then want us to look at his poops occasionally. So this would take out the middle man. No, he wasn't. Jewish? He was not Jewish. Is that a weird thing to ask? I don't know. I wouldn't have gone there. I find that Jews among Jews were just like, alright, is it just us? And then we talk about Mossad stuff, but then we come... Stop it. But then... Stop it. But then we do talk about our poops. Jews talk about their poops amongst each other. I don't think of Jewish people as showing each other their poops. Well, that's because maybe, okay. I'm going to be very honest. I love this. And I would love to have this. Because I have had things wrong for like three years. For years. And I didn't realize it until it was, they were like, you've had Giardia for two years. I thought that was a dog disease. Bitch, I thought you got it from a river. But apparently, you can get it from eating ass. PSA. PSA. That's why you want this. Yeah. Okay, all right. Well, you know, capitalism found its market. God, I'm learning so much Let's do one more Let's stay on topic The University of Maryland's Human Flattus Atlas Produced what they're calling A Fitbit for farts A tiny hydrogen sensor That provides continuous data About your flatulence From your underwear To an app Boy Wow You know, Dylan We've got a great This has been a great CES for you Yeah Great consumer electronic show for Dylan. Yeah. I have something fart related. It's not this, but when we were recording our album, Turtleneck and Chain, we got obsessed with, there's a product called Flat D. And Flat D, I think he was trying to like, it basically removes the smell of farts. So it's like a little carbon, I don't know what it is, but like, and you usually put it in your underwear, but we just had it out. And then anytime anybody had to fart, we would throw them the Flat D, put it on our, and we actually put a thank you in our album liner notes to the inventor of Flat D. It's like noise-canceling headphones for the fart. Yes. Well, yeah. And we would get pissed at each other if you're like, why the fuck didn't you put it on your butt? It's right there.

And sometimes it's so intense, I wake up, it's like I'm a whoopee cushion. And sometimes the intensity is like too high that it's so much air that it's too overwhelming. And I have to tell him, I don't know, this is like a nice measure of like if the intensity of my CPAP is too strong.

Let's find out in our favorite segment Second thoughts Alright, here we go First up, let's see I kind of taunted Jesus during the monologue Do you really want to risk it? I think Jesus would understand As I understand Jesus would understand where the heart of the joke was and would care only about the ethic of the joke. And the ethic of the joke is defensible. I don't think Jesus is sensitive or ego-driven. No, he's like a forgiveness guy. Yeah. It's a big thing about that. God, on the other hand, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, no. You're fucked on that one. You gotta be super careful. Yeah, that's the boss. Let's see. Do I regret my accent work? French accent plus Elvis impression. Momo, Momo. I think I got there. Hon, hon, hon, Momo. I'm getting there. Momo. That's strong. I just didn't go that down. I don't have it. I don't need to have it. I don't regret it. That's your French accent? That was... You combined the two. That was Elvis plus French.
